Contradictions and Paradoxes in Deuteronomy 10:14

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Deuteronomy 10:14 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Deuteronomy 10:14. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, everything in the sky and on the earth belongs to God. God made all of it, so it is all very special to Him.

Deuteronomy 10:14: Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].

Contradiction with Psalm 115:16

Deuteronomy 10:14 declares everything belongs to God, but Psalm 115:16 specifies that the earth has been given to the children of men.

Psalm 115:16: The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

Paradox #1

Deuteronomy 10:14 emphasizes that everything in heaven and earth belongs to God. The potential theological conflict arises when considering human free will and ownership. If everything belongs to God, it can be questioned how humans can own anything or have freedom. This can lead to debates about the extent of human authority and stewardship over creation versus divine ownership and control.

Paradox #2

The potential scientific inconsistency with this verse is that it refers to the heavens and the Earth belonging to a deity, implying a geocentric view of the universe. Science shows that Earth is not the center of the universe, and the vastness of space operates according to natural laws without a single ownership.
